Updated 3:15 p.m. ET- President Barack Obama endorsed the right of same-sex couples to marry on Wednesday, a landmark pronouncement made in light of mounting pressure from gay rights advocates.
Obama became the first U.S. president to back the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry, a reversal from views expressed during the 2008 campaign, when he said he opposed same-sex marriage but favored civil unions as an alternative.
Obama told ABC News that, after reflection, he had "concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married."
In making his announcement, Obama completes what he had described as an evolution in his views on this issue, hastened by growing fervor this week involving gay rights. The growing pressure was capped Tuesday by North Carolina voters approval of a constitutional amendment banning not only same-sex marriages, but civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, as well.

Has he told the Wookie that he's getting divorced, yet?
“when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on MY behalf and yet feel constrained...”
Somehow, it’s always about him.
1 in 6 Bundler told him no cash unless he said this before they gave him a dime.
I'm so sick of this pathetic twisted looser. This sodo-commie POS has to go.
What in the world are all the Catholic Hispanic voters do now?
Do they vote for the person given them free stuff, or against the will of their God?
This “should” at least lower his % of Hispanic support by 10%.

While he is at it, why doesn’t he come out and advocate multiple wives, like other Muslim leaders...come on OUT of the Closet Mr. Hussein.....
Of course, zero believes in “gay” marriage——the destruction of the meaning and twisting of words is the Marxist method-—to destroy the idea of “the laws of nature and nature’s God” our very Constituiton.......
...to destroy the natural family as we knew it for thousands of years in all cultures. Why? Because the Marxist in Chief has to destroy Virtue and morality in children by normalizing the behavior—to create a mass of useful idiots that can no longer use logic and reason which is derived from the Laws of Nature.
If sodomy is “good”, then what possibly can be evil. Destroys all sexual morality—the easiest way to collapse societies. (Freud).
Marx hates God and the family. His radical egalitarianism demands no differences—including the logical scientific and biological ones of man and women. It is to destroy the concept of God the Father-—the Designer—The Lawgiver—so that Zero can be god and decide Right and Wrong for the masses of slaves. Homosexual “marriage” is being forced on our children as “normal” and “sodomy is good” also, especially in MSM like Glee. Sick ideas are posited in children’s minds to form their godless/atheist worldview.
There can be no Supra Positive Laws in zero’s godless world which is Hitler and Stalin and Mao’s societies.
“when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf”
Enough about my opinions on homosexualists and the honorable estate of marriage.
Let’s talk about me and some guys who, well—frankly I’m not worthy of licking their boots clean, but I thought I’d drag them into this as I always do when I’m making a bold decision following weeks of indecision accompanied by nagging and browbeating by my keepers and gays with deep pockets.
Many years ago I was born when a bright star appeared in the Heavens, and delivered in a manger in, well, you know where I’m going! Ha ha ha.
And we were visited by three old white guys who brought some cool stuff and when I was 12 I taught the elders logic and quantum mechanics, and began drafting autobiographical books on myself and my struggles and .....
How is he going to explain this to Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud?
not even about religion.
What about people with children?
What about parents who want to be grandparents?
What about retired (democrat) people who need children to be born to pay into social security?
What about business people who will have to pay for the private sexual recreation of their employees? (healthcare costs etc?)
What about the whole slew of dollar costs to society in general which have to be undertaken to accomodate homosexuals’ short attention spans?

The entire “same sex marriage” message is nothing more than an attack on Christianity. Obama has no problem with this stand. He does not believe in the Bible or Christianity. Do liberal Christians need any more proof?
“Obamas shift not only speaks to a broad swath of the electorate, which has exhibited increasing acceptance of same-sex marriage in opinion polls”
They continue to believe their own propaganda. Voters continue to overwhelmingly reject this “obamanation”
And I think BO ought to be impeached, removed from office, tried and convicted for treason, and shot by a firing squad up against a concrete wall in downtown Raleigh.
But neither of those things are going to happen in my state.
Yep! Still as queer as a $3.00 bill.

Of course Obammy is for gay marriage. He’s married to a man after all ain’t he?
